Steven Lazarus of the Florida Institute of Technology has been awarded the 2018 Russell L. DeSouza Award by the Unidata Users committee. The DeSouza Award honors “individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the Unidata Program to better serve the geosciences.”
The 2018 Unidata Users Workshop took place June 25-28 at UCAR's Center Green facility in Boulder, Colorado. The workshop's theme — Reducing Time to Science: Evolving Workflows for Geoscience Research and Education — drew participants from across the atmospheric and other geosciences communities. Attendees took part in a series of presentations and hands-on exercises that explored approaches to data-proximate computing, uses of machine learning techniques in the geosciences, and interaction with data from new satellites and output from ensemble modeling systems.
Space is still available to attend the 2018 Unidata Users Workshop, and registration is being extended through May 24, 2018.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness of the current trends in the academic geoscience community with an emphasis on Data Proximate Analysis, Machine Learning and Data Analytics, Using GOES-16 Data, and Working with Ensemble NWP Output. Scientists and educators from the academic geoscience community will present ideas and techniques for making effective use of geoscience data and share activities, course materials, and ideas for improving education and research. There will be hands-on workshops, a poster session, and time for informal discussions with presenters and Unidata developers.
Registration will be opening shortly for Unidata's 2018 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features courses on Unidata's display and analysis packages MetPy, IDV, and AWIPS, as well as courses on data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS), and netCDF.
Good News: The National Science Foundation has confirmed that funding is available for the workshop. We encourage you to begin making travel arrangements to attend. Our thanks to NSF for continuing to support this important community workshop.

This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting, was held January 7-11 in Austin, Texas. We were happy to see many of the Unidata community members participating in the meeting at our booth in the exhibit hall, and to meet so many prospective community members at the AMS Student Conference.
Read on for some highlights from the conference as recalled by UPC staff members who attended.
Abstract submission deadlines for most conferences and symposia at the American Meteorological Society's 98th Annual Meeting are 1 August 2017.
UPDATE: Many of the deadlines have been extended to 8 August 2017 or later, including the deadline for submissions to the EIPT conference, now Tuesday, 15 August 2017. See the Call for Papers for details.
Two conferences that may be of special interest to Unidata community members are:
34th Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT)
Eighth Symposium on Advances in Modeling and Analysis Using Python
